The hidden power of the smallest microquasars

SMRTR summary

Evidence shows microquasars with low-mass stars can accelerate particles efficiently, impacting our understanding of gamma ray abundance in the universe. This discovery, using 16 years of Fermi satellite data, reveals a faint gamma-ray signal from GRS 1915+105, a microquasar with a star smaller than the Sun, challenging previous beliefs about particle acceleration in these systems.
